adnkronos reported A prosecutor involved in a case against six Islamic militants in Bangladesh who were hanged two weeks ago, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in the southern town of Jhalakathi,

This is one reason why moderate Muslims are afraid to speak out against the Islamists who obviously never read Surat an-Nisa,093 (Quran 4.93) which says "If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him."

according to the Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star. Hyder Hossain was killed as he came out of a mosque after prayers near his home on Wednesday night.

At least he had just prayed, and hopefully was forgiven his sins. Maybe he will talk to Allah about these nutjobs that are taking His name in vain.

The Daily Star reported that Hyder had recently said that several people identifying themselves a members of the banned Islamic group Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were threatening him over the telephone following the execution of the six JMB members.
